"Fairy Sister!"
The moment the door was opened, a little guy ran out of the room.
Then-
"Gu Shumo! You are not allowed to hold my mother! Let go!"
Xia An looked at the little guy who was holding her thigh tightly. It seemed like he was crying.
She really didn't expect Gu Shumo to wait for her in the hotel.
She thought that they would move him here once she settled. She expected to receive Gu Shumo from the old man Gu not until a day later.
"Let her go! This is my mother! Only I can hold her!"
"I won't let go! I won't let go! Grandpa said, I will live with my fairy sister in the future, and she will take care of me!"
Xia An shook her head helplessly. She had to deal with these two little guys' naive behavior every day from this day on.
She stretched out her palms, and held them both, one in each hand.
"Well, you guys. In the future, we will all live together and we will all get along well, alright?"
The two children who were quarreling with each other became quiet.
"Yes, Mom."
"Yes, Fairy Sister."
The two little guys replied with aggrieved expressions.
Xia An murmured silently in her heart, 'It appears that the male lead and the villain are really born to fight with each other.'
Regardless of the existence of the female lead, these two little ones would still never get along.
After Xia An unpacked all her luggage, she saw Gu Shuma pulling the corner of her clothes.
"Fairy sister, my grandfather said he would let me pick you up for dinner."
It turned out that Gu Shumo just wanted to see Xia An sooner. Therefore, he arrived at the hotel first. He told her about the place where Grandpa Gu invited her to eat. It was a well-known Michelin restaurant, and Xia An agreed instantly. She even dropped her plans of taking a break.
She hurried to the dinner with the two little ones.
"Oh, that Asian girl looks so good, like an elf."
"Is she an Asian celebrity?"
"What a beautiful Asian girl."
...
Because she was abroad, Xia An didn't have to disguise herself before going out, as she did at home.
Since she was in a good mood, she didn't even wear a mask. As a result, along the way, she attracted a lot of attention.
Even when sitting in the dining room, many eyes were on her.
Xia An took the two kids and sat opposite of Mr. Gu.
The waiter presented a beautiful and exquisite dessert in front of her.
"Miss, this is a dessert sent for you from the next table."
Xia An was a little dumbfounded looking at the dessert in front of her.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Before she went out, she had always been in disguise. Now, for the first time in this world, Xia An felt that she was beautiful ... she could really use her face as a card to eat!
"Oh, Miss Xia is really charming."
Mr. Gu Lao looked at Xia An with a smile.
Xia An calmly prepared to enjoy the dessert that looked very delicious.
But, unfortunately, before she had time to pick up the spoon to eat, the two kids stopped her, "Waiter, take this away! My mom does not eat food from strangers!"
"That's it! I'll pay for what the fairy sister wants to eat! Take it away!"
When Xia An saw their reaction, she was completely stunned. It was not because of their actions, but because ... the two spoke English fluently!
This made her, a person who had majored in English in university feel a bit ashamed! She picked up English again because she was going to act in a Hollywood movie.
But now! She couldn't speak English as smoothly as the two little guys!
"Fairy Sister, what do you want to eat? Xiao Mo can buy it for you! Grandpa said I'm rich!"
Gu Shumo stared at Xia An with bright eyes, like a puppy trying hard to please his owner.
As soon as Gu Shumo said this, the little guy sitting on the left side of Xia An got anxious.
"I ... I have money too! I can buy a lot of food for my mother!"
The two cuties were fighting for favor. Xia An and Mr. Gu looked at each other, and laughed out loud.
"It looks like my grandson is fascinated by Miss Xia. I think if he inherits the property in the future, he would change our company's name to Xia," Mr. Gu teased her.
Xia An waved her hands, "Mr. Gu, don't make fun of me."
"Haha! However, after seeing my grandson liking you so much, I am more assured to give him to you."
After saying this, the smile on Mr. Gu's face faded a lot.
"Mr. Gu Lao ...?"
"Forget it, let's eat first. After dinner, let's talk about it somewhere else."
"Okay."
Mr. Gu Lao gestured and many waiters in suits soon began to serve them a series of exquisite meals.
Xia An tasted them one by one. The western food was delicious but the portion was too small!
However, a smaller amount was beneficial. As this prevented her from eating too much.
After enjoying a delicious exotic food, she felt a little pity that it was so less. Once she was content, she followed Grandpa Gu. They left the restaurant and went to a private place for tea.
"Xiao Mo, you go out with Xiao Xing. I have something to talk about with your sister Xia," Mr. Gu sent the two out. He and Xia An sat in the luxurious private VIP room.
Although the two little ones were a little unhappy, they were obedient.
When the two little guys went out, Grandpa Gu lost his relaxed look. His old face was full of seriousness.
"Miss Xia, I know you may feel that the request I made this time is a bit inappropriate, but I can't help it anymore."
"Isn't it just to help you take care of your grandson for the time being? It's nothing. It's okay. You're paying for everything, I can do this for you. This is a clear trade, you don't need to think too much," Xia An said with all seriousness.
Mr. Gu heard Xia An's blunt words. For a moment, he didn't know whether to call this beautiful woman too naive or ... too cold-blooded.
However, this answer amused Mr. Gu and he felt relieved.
"Okay! I am more at ease placing my grandson with you. You can rest assured, as long as you take good care of my grandson, I will give you a very generous reward. Or, what are your requirements? You can mention it to me, as long as I can do it, I will try to do it. "
Mr. Gu was a businessman. He had always disliked using emotions while doing things.
What he liked was a clear relationship of interest.
With such an interest-driven reason, it became more secure. He would not be afraid of betrayal.
"Didn't you already pay for it?" Xia An raised her brow and said with a smile.
"No, that one was for Han Yue. I haven't paid your remuneration, and I don't know how long you have to take care of my grandson. ... I need to give you some benefits first."
Mr. Gu sipped his cup of tea. At this moment, he looked different from the kind grandfather. He was more like a calculative businessman.
"I can not tell you much about my family affairs. However, my grandson likes you so much, please take care of him in future."
The last kidnapping and abduction really scared Grandpa Gu.
Even a tiger didn't eat its cubs, but he didn't expect his son to not even care for his grandson. He didn't have even a little affection for the child.
As long as his son was not dead, his grandson's safety was his bottom line.
He thought of the horrible wolves at home, and the restlessness in the company. Grandpa Gu had no idea that he would have to fight at this age with his only grandson.
"Okay, I will take care of your grandson. But ... since you said you were going to pay, I won't be kind to you."
Xia An didn't pretend, she was never a little white rabbit or a white lotus.
She had always been cheap, so take advantage!
Anyway, what Mr. Gu said was so straightforward, she wouldn't pretend to be pretending.
"You don't need to be polite with me."
"I want to start a company."
Xia An did not hesitate to tell this matter. She was short of funds and this man was willing to help.
"Start a company? In the United States?"
Grandpa Gu really didn't expect that Xia An would make such a request.
He had thought that this woman would ask for money.
This beautiful woman had such an ambition.
"What? No?"
"No, of course, I will help you."
...
Time passed by, and every day spent in the United States, made Xia An move forward in a good direction little by little.
She started a company with the help of Mr. Gu.
Her son attended the best schools in the world with the help of Mr. Gu.
Although 'Come on Challenger' went off, the new show "Xia An's star house" had begun recording.
And the recording was extremely comfortable; Eating big meals every day, living in a five-star hotel. In terms of standard of living it was simply the apex with the material enjoyment.
Xia An was in a perfect state of mind. She could be lazy but was well nourished.
In contrast, Xia Jing was unlucky!
She participated in "Mom is Back" just to prevent Xia An from participating in it. She wasn't interested in experiencing life in the countryside. Even though she knew the process of the program, she also came up with the corresponding countermeasures. She brought a lot of things along with her to record the program. She thought that when recording the program, her quality of life would be similar to what she normally had. But all the things she bought were gone.
What was even more unexpected was that she couldn't take her baby girl home.
Therefore, Xia Jing and Fu Anqi really experienced the life of rural people this time!
In this life, the two mother and daughter who had always lived in luxury, were about to collapse.
The annoying little princess, Fu Anqi, who did not like to cry at all, turned into a tearful person. She cried every day; crying when living, crying when eating, and crying when doing tasks with other children.
She was just crying all the time.
Many staff members and other participants got headaches because once Fu Anqi cried other children would cry too. However, compared to Xia Jing, Fu Anqi's crying was pretty good!
Her mother was worse than her!
Like a menopausal woman, she took out all her anger on people!
Also after shooting the show for a few days, Xia Jing's face got bitten by a worm and had a lot of little red spots.
Although it didn't hurt, it looked ugly! No amount of makeup would cover all the little red dots on her face.
"Ah-! I'm not shooting! Not shooting! How can I shoot with this face!"
The staff of the "Mother Is Back" program group were helpless and irritated.
"You tell me, why did the director of our show find such a woman to shoot? She's terrible! There isn't a single day while we've been shooting that she didn't throw a tantrum."
"Oh! Don't say that, the director of our show didn't want to invite this woman at all. It was Xia An who he wanted to shoot with, who knows how this woman came."
"I feel that Xia An is an innocent and unlucky person. After seeing Xia Jing's temper, I think Xia An is absolutely wronged."
"Sure, which female star has ever been blocked as bad a Xia An? Xia An must have been targeted by Xia Jing."
"Well, fortunately, the show is going to end, otherwise ... I feel like wanting to resign."
"Well, let's work hard together. However, I just hope that after this, Xia Jing would never come again."
"I think the director thinks so too."
...
The show "Mom is back" was like this. In the atmosphere where countless staff members wanted to resign, and participants wanted to go out, the recording was over.
Initially, the bright and beautiful Xia Jing and her daughter were high spirited.
But they were miserably pitted!
Both of them had lost a lot of weight. Even their faces lost fat and their facial values dropped by more than half.
And Xia Jing was even worse! There were 'scars' on her face. They were either caused because she was bitten by a bug or hurt by a fall. It was not ordinary bad luck.
Xia Jing had thought that after leaving the countryside and returning home, she would definitely be able to recuperate.
Who knew that when she returned home, she got unconscious. It was as if she was possessed by a dying god*, leaving her mental and physical situation in a bad state.
In the end, she had a serious illness, and the woman looked like she lost a lot of her years.
When her illness finally got better, more unfortunate things happened again.
Once, she threw a tantrum at the staff of the "Mom is back" program. She didn't know how but this video was exposed on the Internet.
The show hadn't been broadcast, yet Xia Jing was on the Internet because of this incident. Many netizens speculated that Xia An was actually framed by Xia Jing.
It was just that Xia Jing's image had always been shown as a gentle and kind lady, so most people still stood on Xia Jing's side.
But as soon as Xia Jing's video was exposed, the public opinion completely turned. This made Xia Jing, who was already planning on quitting recording the program, forced to follow her public relations team's advice and continue to go to the countryside.
"Woohoo ... Mom, Qiqi doesn't want to go to the village anymore. It is so uncomfortable. I don't like it."
Xia Jing regretted grabbing Xia An's place when she saw her baby girl crying. She should have let Xia An participate in such a hard show and make her, and her son suffer!
She would have enjoyed watching the mother and son suffer hardships!
It would have been okay if her video hadn't been exposed. She could have casually given a reason, and would not have to participate in the show.
Now to restore her image she had to go to shoot the show.
Xia Jing hugged Fu Anqi and said softly, "Baby, Mom doesn't want to participate too. But, because of that bad woman, we have to go on the show. Otherwise, we will be defeated by the bad woman."
The little girl nodded pitifully after a few sobs, "Okay, let's participate. Let's not be defeated by the bad woman ..."
"Well, good ~" Xia Jing soothed her baby girl for a while. Her mood improved thinking of Xia An. She would be miserable after being blocked.
Xia An was nowhere as miserable as she imagined!
Not only did Xia An not have a bad life, but she also had a comfortable and luxurious one. Her work and life was smooth as breeze.
Not long before the new variety show was filmed, Xia An followed Han Yue and Xu Dao to visit Director Grace.
This visit with director Grace was included in "Xia An's Star house" show.
Yes! The content of this show was Xia An's life and this included every part of her work in the entertainment industry.
"Oh! You are the incarnation of my life's angle!"
Xia An hadn't got the script to start the audition. She saw Director Grace who was staring at her with bright eyes.
Seeing the appearance of Director Grace who had a white beard, Xia An was really a bit dumbfounded.
She thought that the so-called audition would be complicated and difficult.
Who knew, she didn't have to do anything. The legendary world's top director was so optimistic about her.
"Director Grace, wouldn't you let Xia An audition for this character?" Xu Dao coughed, and kindly reminded him.
After all, Xia An, the little star, was just a vase who had no acting skills.
"Oh, Ann's temperament and appearance are the same as that of the heroine in my script. No one is more suitable for the role of Joan than Ann."
Grace looked brightly at Xia An. He was so excited that he could run to hug her.
"Anyway, let's audition."
Xu Dao looked at Xia An, who was frowning and then looked at Grace, who was excited.
In the end, under the guidance of Xu Dao, Grace let Xia An do a few martial arts moves.
When Xia An did neat continuous air flips without even touching the ground with her palms, the audition was completed perfectly.
'Papapa!'
When Xia An finished the last flip, loud applause sounded, and Grace's hand seemed to have been swollen.
"Very good! The role of Joan needs such clean skill! Ann, this role is made for you!"
Xia An now understood that the role she was going to play was not difficult!
Grace didn't exaggerate at all, this role really seemed to be tailored for her!
She could play the role of the heroine in this movie especially the fighting scenes!
The background story was related to Apocalypse. This was a little different from ordinary zombie movies.
After all, it was a movie made by the great director. The focus was not on the zombies. It was more about humanity and environmental protection.
The story takes place hundreds of years after the end of the world. Joan, played by Xia An, was a human who had been involved in the Frozen Project. She thus remained frozen for several hundred years.
The movie themes included the impact of new and old human culture and ideas on salvation in the apocalyptic days.
The story was pretty good. It was more interesting than those doomsday zombie movies she had seen on the Internet.
"How about it? Ann, would you agree to play this role?
